In January of this year, the Mercedes AMG F1 PETRONAS team announced a partnership with adidas on gear for the whole squad, drivers down to mechanics. The sponsorship has already seen a slew of clothing drops and sneaker releases, but the latest collaboration, a silver Megaride CT, is already a new favorite.
Officially done up in a mix of Chrome Silver, Core Black, and Red, the Mercedes Megaride CT features black mesh on the toebox and tongue, black stripes on the side, and a bouncy black sole all drowned out by an eye-catching chrome wrap and a hit of grey suede on the toe. The collar and inside of the shoe feature a vibrant red in a clear reference to the classic AMG interior colorway.
Released under the adidas Consortium label, the Megaride CT features a handshake graphic and Consortium branding on the insole and tongue as well as a shoutout to the two brands' partnership with the quote "The Respect Is Mutual" printed on the underside of the tongue label while the front tongue label sports the Mercedes AMG logo.
"Our partnership with adidas is a clear statement of intent as we begin to write our next chapter as a team," Mercedes AMG PETRONAS F1 CEO Toto Wolff said about the brands' collaborative efforts. "adidas is an iconic brand, one that shares our dedication not only to peak performance but to style and sophistication too."
The Mercedes AMG x adidas Megaride CT is set to release Fall 2025, via adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men's sizing, retail price is set at $120.
